Time will tell if Vladimir Putin will postpone a meeting with Donald Trump, as he has done in the past.
The Kremlin says the US President and his Russian counterpart have agreed to meet in the "coming days".
The Trump administration has indicated, for the pair to meet, Putin must meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
BBC Russia Correspondent Olga Ivshina told Ryan Bridge Putin's made progress towards his goals while pretending he's open for peace talks.
She says he's pushed Ukrainian forces out of Russia's Kursk region, while capturing some villages.
